Tattoo Art That Covers Up Permanent Scars: 50+ Masterpieces
It’s not like in cartoons where you get awesome scars on your face. Wouldn’t scars on the face be a real pain? Deep gashes also don’t always heal nicely. Our limbs, torsos, and necks all have scars. They’re nothing to be embarrassed about; they show that you’ve (hopefully) learned from a certain life experience. If you do decide to get a tattoo to cover up your scars, make sure you go to the coolest tattoo artist in town. Take a look at what 50+ tattoo artists did to hide their customers’ lifelong scars.
The Piercing Feather
You’re in a unique position to have a really terrible optical illusion tattooed on your skin if you have two gashes on your thigh that run parallel to each other. Rather than covering the entire area with one massive thigh tattoo, this woman chose to turn into a skid.
The Piercing Feather
A feather appears to pierce one cut and pop out of the other, according to the tattooist. Although it appears that this would be a painful experience in and of itself, it was well worth it to achieve this optical illusion. She must receive compliments left and right whenever she walks around in short-shorts.
Welding Job in Progress
This one, like the previous one, does not hide the scar at all. In fact, our eyes are drawn to whatever this underwater worker is welding, and it almost becomes the focal point of the tattoo. If we’re honest, it appears that he’s attempting to seal something that regular duct tape won’t be able to fix.
Welding Job In Progress
And this is certainly the case, as this guy is inked to use his vertical scar, after all. We would like to know more about the scar of that person and the idea behind this tattoo. However, this ink may still be incomplete from the look of things.
That’s Fishy
Someone threw a football at this person’s leg at a high rate of speed, and the seams left a permanent scar upon contact. Or, the scar could be the result of stitches, which aren’t uncommon, even on calves. But what if you have a long gash with a series of smaller cuts running perpendicular to the line?
That’s Fishy
It’s simple: turn it into a fish’s skeletal remains. The best part is that the tattoo artist only had to inject a small amount of ink. The scar did 80% of the work, leaving only a tailfin and a smiling skull to complete the look.
Removing Caesar’s Mark
There are several reasons why some women decide not to go through the natural process but to give birth under the knife. Some people feel that they want the best way to protect their bodies, and making an incision right beneath the belly is the best way to do so. But what can you do with the scar that results?
Removing Caesar’s Mark
So, here’s an intriguing concept. Simply commission an abstract piece of art to be created along with the cut by a skilled tattooist. It not only conceals the incision mark but also adds color to your tummy. And yes, the phrase “belly of the beauty” applies perfectly to this image.
Shell Yeah!
We can’t even begin to imagine what kind of injury resulted in such a severe wound. It’s great that his skin has recovered, but the hair follicles will never grow back. There is, however, a silver lining to this. Because the skin is so smooth, it provides the ideal canvas for tattoo artists to unleash their creativity.
Shell Yeah!
Even though drawing a sea turtle isn’t exactly a wild picture, it is a wild animal, so it totally counts. The best part is that the turtle tattoo will serve as a constant reminder not to pollute the environment. Please help save the turtles!
A Mighty Tree
The wound was barely visible, to begin with, but that didn’t mean it didn’t bother the individual. Even the smallest scars can significantly impact, so perhaps hiding them from view isn’t such a bad idea. Or maybe this person was just going out on a limb. Do you get it?
A Mighty Tree
Oh, and did we mention that this person covered her star with a tree tattoo? Do you get it now? We have to say; this simple tree ink is one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever seen. It’s stunning how the colors correspond to three of the four seasons.
Stop and Smell the Roses
In most cases, you’d want to conceal unsightly scars with something more attractive. We’ve seen people use whatever suits the situation best in the past, but we’re sticking to the classics this time. A rose tattoo is the quintessential classic design.
Stop And Smell The Roses
This person’s choice of a thorny flower seems ironic. According to their scars, this person was thrown into a rose bush, resulting in all of the painful gash marks. We can only assume that this tattoo will continue to grow in the future, given the scars visible at the top and bottom.
Black, White, and Beautiful
Traditional black-and-white tattoos appeal to us more than colorful ones for some reason. That is just our opinion, but we have already seen some magnificent color-filled tattoos. If there is such a thing as falling in love at first sight, we have experienced it recently. How can you not fall in love with this stunning work of art?
Black, White, And Beautiful
We completely understand why this woman wishes to hide her scar. We’d like to learn more about the wound’s history, but we’re afraid of what we’d learn. A skin-deep cut does not leave that kind of scar.
Lavish and Lovely
We believe we have a good idea of how these scars developed, but we really hope we’re wrong. Having that many cuts up one leg can seriously undermine your self-esteem, and going out in shorts is out of the question. Again, we shouldn’t be embarrassed by our scars, but that’s easier said than done.
Lavish And Lovely
However, if you get a lovely tattoo like this one, it will make it easier. The caption claims that her garden is flourishing, and this appears to be the case. Her new tattoo should hopefully encourage her to dress more comfortably in the summer. Her flowers, on the other hand, would be perfect for the season!
Gotta Go Fast
When someone wants to get a hedgehog tattoo, we’re always down. We grew up playing the Sega Genesis, so anything Sonic-related is something we can support. It only made sense to cover up the prickly appearance with something naturally prickly, based on the appearance of this person’s scars.
Gotta Go Fast
The lines on the hedgehog’s belly could definitely be improved, but there’s always time to go back and fix it later. Blue fur, white socks, red shoes with a white stripe, and Tails the Two-Tailed Fox are the only things that aren’t included. It wouldn’t hurt to add a few rings here and there as well.
Are You Sure About That?
We could be completely wrong, but this person’s tattoo doesn’t seem to be concealing her scar very well. It even goes so far as to make it the center of her stomach. Not that having a scar on your belly is a bad thing; in fact, it’s a pretty creative way to let the world know you have one.
Are You Sure About That?
Regardless of the instructions, we don’t think anyone should put a pair of scissors near this woman’s stomach. Enjoy the view from afar, but don’t get too close. Or perhaps this lady is completely devoted to the arts and crafts!
A Colorful Scene
Oh, my goodness. C-sections can leave you with some pretty bad scars. Horizontal incisions, also known as bikini cuts, leave less scarring, but your doctor may need to do it the old-fashioned way in some cases. This only adds to our understanding of what mothers go through during childbirth. Moms will willingly disfigure their bodies to ensure the health of their children.
A Colorful Scene
If your mom gave you birth through a c-section, then perhaps the least you can do is help her cover her tattoo scars. This one-of-a-bumper-drinking flowers’ nectar is certainly a nice way to cover up your scars.
Up and Away!
Sometimes in life, we want to sprout wings and just fly away. This was a time for us during our final stages when we didn’t study, but they might have a more significant reason to flee for others. Maybe this woman is trying to escape her past from a traumatic experience.
Up And Away!
Although the minor cut on this woman’s hand was barely noticeable, to begin with, that does not mean she was unconcerned about it. Wearing gloves all day like Michael Jackson was out of the question, so she did the only logical thing: she got a tattoo to cover up her scar.
Keep the Faith
This makes sense, given how badly her belly was scratched. Through her new bird tattoo, she can demonstrate to others that she is prepared to fly away, searching for greener pastures. Wherever you are, miss, we wish you the very best of luck!
Keep The Faith
She wore a rosary to show her belief in a higher being in charge of the universe. In a way, that higher being guided her to get the coverup tattoo and gave her the cut. She now carries a constant reminder of her faith and devotion to an all-knowing power with her at all times.
Ōkami fan?
When was the last time we saw a reference to Inari kami? We believe it was around the time that the PlayStation 2 game kami was released. Anyway, this woman had a horrifying scar on her thigh that looked suspiciously like fish scales. Instead of tattooing a fish on her leg as someone else had done before her, she chose something completely different.
Ōkami Fan?
She covered it all up with a tattoo of the Japanese god of prosperity on her leg. That had to be a torturous experience in and of itself, but it was well worth it. Take a look at all of the lovely colors!
A New Life
Life goes in a circle. Pollinators need nectar from flowers and plants to survive, and pollinators need nectar from flowers and plants. It’s a lovely cycle of mutual reliance that gives our world its color and meaning. And there’s no way for humanity to stop it. Sure, we can bulldoze the rainforests, but nature will always triumph over everything we’ve built if left to its own devices.
A New Life
We can understand why this woman wanted to conceal her horrifying back scar. Receiving a wound that didn’t heal completely must have been a traumatic and painful experience for her. Thankfully, a few flowers and butterflies will restore her faith in herself and allow her to return to the beach.
Almost Done
Some people want to cover up their scars with elaborate tattoos, while others are proud of their scars. This person believed that the tattoo would be used as a base for a new one rather than being covered. And we have to say, the result is guaranteed to make people laugh.
Almost Done
The long gash on their hand was the ideal canvas for a needle and thread. Maybe this person enjoys stitching and wants to share their hobby with the rest of the world. Perhaps they’re simply amusing themselves with their scar. However, it remains a work in progress.
The Unseen Protector
To say the least, this picture is shocking. This person appears to have been shot with a gun of some sort, but they managed to survive the shots. Coming back from that ordeal and continuing to kick is proof that they have a guardian angel watching over them.
The Unseen Protector
So, how about a guardian angel tattoo? Using it as the lip and mouth of a jug of holy water, the tattoo artist beautifully masked the bullet wound. This tattoo will serve as a constant reminder to the wearer that their life has meaning.
And Still Many More to Go
Fortunately, depression is now taken far more seriously than it was previously. Therapy is no longer stigmatized, so people don’t have to worry about being judged behind their backs when seeking help for mental health issues. Recognizing how far you’ve come in life is one way to cope with depression and hopefully overcome it.
And Still Many More To Go
This woman received the ideal caption tattoo, indicating that she has come a long way. The gash that runs down her spine is merely a byproduct of her ordeal. And, while she has made great progress, she clearly has a long way to go. We adore your spirit!
Life and Fashion
This tattoo is based on a popular scar coverup motif. Pulling open a zipper reveals the beauty of life beneath it, which takes the form of a lovely flower. The flower petals hide a deep wound on this woman’s body that likely left more than a physical mark.
Life And Fashion
This tattoo may have a hidden meaning. Perhaps she is fashionable and has a passion for gardening, or perhaps she has discovered a new purpose in life. Alternatively, it could mean something completely different to the individual who received the tattoo. Whatever it is, we love it!
A Dark Reminder
Certain scars are challenging to live with and accept. It is certainly not the person’s fault that they have such a jarring scar, especially when it serves as a permanent reminder of events they wish to forget. However, the tattooist outdid themselves by providing this woman with an incredible coverup tattoo.
A Dark Reminder
Rather than using the traditional red-and-green rose, the tattoo artist used an all-black rose to cover this woman’s lifelong scars. In some ways, it appears bleak, but it is undeniably a stunning piece of art. This woman will remember more than just her scar whenever she sees her belly button.
Keep the Zipper Down!
You’ve got to admit, this person’s sense of humor is a little strange. To put it another way, this lady is someone we’d like to be friends with. Instead of hiding the stitch marks on the back of her neck with her hair, she decided to make a zipper out of it and call it a day.
Keep The Zipper Down!
We sincerely hope no one pulls the zipper up. If you ask us, that will result in a pretty gruesome mess. It’s a shame that this person didn’t explain why they got a zipper tattoo and why they have such a unique scar.
Calvin and Hobbes
Is there a better newspaper comic than Calvin and Hobbes? We haven’t read it yet if it exists. C&H was a classic and remained one of the most memorable cartoons of the eighties and nineties. Man, we want Bill Waterson to return. Since he left C&H in 1995, people have tried to reach the cartoonist and failed to reach him.
Calvin And Hobbes
However, just because there haven’t been any new issues of the young lad and his stuffed tiger doesn’t mean it’s gone out of print. This woman has a large tattoo of the beloved characters climbing or getting stuck in a tree to show her love for the comic. Classic!
I Eat Danger for Lunch
Snakes aren’t typically associated with good luck. If you come across a snake, the best thing to do is to run away and never look back. Snakes are magical creatures that eat people and turn into Horcruxes, according to the Harry Potter books. Some snakes, on the other hand, aren’t so bad.
I Eat Danger For Lunch
The Asclepius Rod has become a worldwide symbol of healing and medicine. The single snake wrapped around the road protects against evil diseases and infections, and it perfectly matches this person’s scar. Nobody knows if this is a work in progress or if the staff is acting as an invisible rod.
Simple yet Effective
People will use plants to cover up scars from past trauma, as we’ve seen throughout this list. It’s understandable, given that plants and flowers are a perfect metaphor for overcoming adversity. If left unattended, even a dandelion will sprout from the middle of the concrete.
Simple Yet Effective
The light scars were used as stems in this person’s simple flower design. As you can see from the simplicity and beauty of this tattoo, not much was required to achieve the look. The tiny flower wisps and lines were strewn about give this scar a whole new meaning.
Heavyweight Problems Require Heavyweight Solutions
Certain scars can completely disfigure a person’s skin. People tend to conceal these scars, even though they can make them look completely awesome; however, if it affects your self-confidence, by all means, do whatever it takes to restore it. This individual carried a flower but did not keep it light.
Heavyweight Problems Require Heavyweight Solutions
A massive flower tattoo completely concealed the huge gash that ran up this guy’s arm and armpit. The pedals at the top blend to hide the majority of the scar near his armpit, which was most likely a source of embarrassment for him. We’re curious as to how he got that scar.
The Dark Side
Simply being a Star Wars fan does not require you to aspire to be a Jedi. Some people draw inspiration from the saga’s dark side. Perhaps they view Darth Vader and his cronies as a cautionary tale about what not to do. For instance, avoid having your hands severed by your Jedi mentor.
The Dark Side
And keep the high ground at all times. That goes without saying. The swelling around this man’s scar appears to be permanent, though it could be due to the red ink used to make Vader’s lightsaber. This is a tattoo that people will remember for a long time.
Treemendous
When you have a deep scar on your upper arm, it can be difficult to feel comfortable wearing t-shirts. You could cover it with a sleeve tattoo, but that might be a bit much, especially since the wound is so small. However, you can’t deny that if you saw this person walking down the street, the top picture would immediately catch your attention.
Treemendous
On the other hand, the branch coverup tattoo draws your attention to the piece’s beauty and simplicity. During the peak of the fall season, a simple branch and a few leaves can do wonders to hide this deep scar.
Opening Up
We’re unsure if anyone told this woman, but the inner zipper’s teeth miss a pull tab. That won’t be pleasant, especially since the zipper will continue to open on its own over time. The silver lining, however, is that there is no visible scar.
Opening Up
What a little ink and a steady hand can do to our bodies is truly amazing. Even the shading underneath the “outer layer” is breathtaking. This woman, like everyone else, has many layers, but we can see a lot more than what’s on the surface. It’s a little bizarre.
A Tribute to the Best Doctor in the World
Going under the knife for open-heart surgery is probably the most jarring experience. Because there are so many variables, a single nick in the wrong place can have disastrous consequences. Thankfully, the surgeon was successful, and this man may live for many more days.
A Tribute To The Best Doctor In The World
This man, on the other hand, didn’t just want to hide his scar. He got a tattoo as a tribute to how he got the scar in the first place. A doctor had to open his chest cavity, as evidenced by two gloved hands, one holding a scalpel. Most people would try to forget something so traumatic, but this man will never forget what trained professionals did to save his life.
The Thrill of the Fight
Tattoos can serve as an effective reminder of a person’s life experiences. While they can be simple or random images, their meaning can be significant to the tattooed person. By getting a half-face tiger tattoo, this person didn’t hide their scar but rather emphasized its significance.
The Thrill Of The Fight
The left cut is still visible, overshadowed by the big cat’s beauty and ferocity. The dark lines that separate the cat from the wound do a good job of combining both features into one cohesive image. If we do say so ourselves, this is a true work of art.
Giving a Fox
This fox tattoo is visually appealing, not because of its intricate details but because of the simple yet artistic style with which it was created. We’re not artists, and we’re not experts on drawing theories, but we believe the golden ratio plays a role.
Giving A Fox
Regardless, as you can see in the photo on the left, the scar on this person’s leg wasn’t evident to begin with, but they still wanted it covered up. The right-hand fox was the ideal “stamp” for concealing the scar while also drawing attention to itself.
An Elegant Solution
Scars vary from one person to the next and from one wound to the next. A scar’s healing process may cause it to fade or pop out in 3D. The latter is the case in this instance. A woman wanted to hide an unsightly bump in the most elegant way possible.
An Elegant Solution
It just so happened that the scar resembled the beginnings of a butterfly. All the tattoo artist had to do was add a couple of wings on either side of the scar and color in the bump, and he was done! One could say that the scar began as a caterpillar and then transformed into a beautiful butterfly.
Subtle yet Powerful
Another tattoo that doesn’t hide a scar but rather uses it as a guideline for the ink drawing is this one. The tattoo itself is somewhat abstract, as evidenced by the seemingly random lines and stubby peacock feathers strewn about, but it’s still a lovely piece.
Subtle Yet Powerful
This image’s caption tells the perfect story. The tattoo combines abstract and organic elements, with abstract shapes and designs on either side of the scar or organic canvas. The scar is still noticeable, but it pales in comparison to the tattoo’s beauty and color.
A Purposeful Doodle
To tell you the truth, we have no idea where the scar is. One might think the doodle covers it up, but the flesh mark is indistinguishable from the healthy skin even if you squint your eyes. We can probably thank the tattooist’s incredible abilities for that.
A Purposeful Doodle
We have no idea what kind of drawing this is, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like it! This simple doodle of an alien-like figure with antennas is easy to make, likely quick to finish, and absolutely adorable. There’s no need for color or intricate details!
A Mermaid Apparition?
While you can use creams to hide stretch marks after giving birth, they aren’t always effective. But do you have any idea what it is? Using a stunningly beautiful tattoo of a ghostly mermaid to cover up your post-pregnancy stretch marks. That’s what we think it is, at least.
A Mermaid Apparition?
It’s difficult to tell whether this figure is diving deeper into a vast ocean or flying down through the sky based on the caption in this image. Well, every tattoo has a backstory, and even though we don’t know what this one is, we can appreciate their beauty and complexity regardless.
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark
At night, a lot of strange things happen. After the sun sets, some people become more animated, while others are ready to retire and sleep. With boogeyman sightings and such, the dark can be quite frightening, but we must all learn to cope.
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark
The tattoo on this woman’s arm pretty much sums up how we should approach the dark. It’s a terrifying time of day, but it’s also the most visually stunning. The Northern Lights are more visible, the stars are brighter, and it’s also romantic. That is, at least, our opinion on the subject.
Dealing with Troubles in Our Own Ways
Everyone has their own way of dealing with depression. This individual took it to the next level by causing bodily harm to others. We won’t say whether he was correct or incorrect, but we do wish he hadn’t. The resulting track marks can be difficult to conceal, putting a strain on both your personal and professional lives.
Dealing With Troubles In Our Own Ways
An important lesson can be learned from the abstract arrow on this person’s forearm. Continue to move forward, forget about the past, and look for greener pastures. Your past is in the past, and it doesn’t have to define who you are. Instead of becoming bitter, improve.
An Awesome Tribute
We have yet to meet someone who does not enjoy The Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s a classic stop-motion film starring Jack Skellington and Sally, his love interest. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a dark film, but it’s a story that will live on in our hearts and minds for a long time.
An Awesome Tribute
This person chose to conceal his scars with a Sally tattoo as a tribute to the film. The psychic rag-doll creature is likely to reveal more about this man’s past, which, based on his scars, appears to be one of despair. We wish him well and think he likes his tattoo as much as we do.
A Lovely Quote
Our bodies are the ideal canvasses for paying tribute to those who have had the greatest impact on our lives. For some, they can opt for fast-food logos and earn perks normally reserved for the company’s superfans. For others, a fictional character is an ideal way to describe their past struggles and hopeful futures.
A Lovely Quote
This tattoo is a tribute to Sylvia Plath’s classic novel The Bell Jar. The quote “I am, I am, I am” can have various interpretations. Perhaps this quote serves as a reminder to this person that they can continue to strive to be the best version of themselves while they cannot change.
Vikings!
Getting a tattoo is an excellent way to express yourself and your interests. The person who got this tattoo obviously has an interest in Viking culture and legends. The raven is a common symbol in Norse mythology because it was the creature Odin used to keep him informed about his Earthly subjects.
Vikings!
Likewise, it’s fairly obvious how this guy obtained those scars in the first place. Again, depression is not a laughing matter, and if you or someone you know is suffering from it, make certain they receive the assistance they so desperately need.
The Perfect Branch
This tattoo hides a gruesome scar. We can’t imagine how this person felt when they received it, but it’s nice to know they’re humorous. Rather than hiding it completely, they got a tattoo that included the scar in the final design.
The Perfect Branch
A bluebird can be seen perched on the scar/branch, probably about to sing its heart out. Perhaps this person enjoys bird watching, or perhaps the scar was the perfect canvas for a random bird tattoo. In any case, it’s a beautiful piece.
Year-Long Blossom
The cherry blossoms in Japan are arguably the most beautiful in the world. Hundreds of thousands of visitors worldwide see the blossoming season, which lasts only ten days out of the year. If you don’t want to travel to the Far East, or if you want to see cherry blossoms all year, consider getting a tattoo.
Year Long Blossom
We have no idea what kind of trauma this person went through when they received this scar. It starts at the wrist and ends near the shoulder, so getting it covered by this tattoo must have taken a long time.
A Beautiful Touch
On this list, we’ve already seen a few roses, but here’s another. This one is different from the others; it’s just a tiny little blip on this person’s ankle to hide a minor bruise or scar. Even though it takes up very little space, the amount of attention to detail that went into this rose is incredible.
A Beautiful Touch
This rose in full bloom is stunning because of its intricate design. The artist must have put their heart and soul into making such a lovely work of art. We don’t know how it’ll look as the person grows older, but the scar beneath it is completely gone for the time being.
Nailed It
Here’s a clever way to hide the fact that you’re missing a few nails. This person thought he’d get a nail tattoo on the end of each nub after losing the final joints on his index and middle fingers. And we have to say; this is one of our favorite tattoos.
Nailed It
The attention to detail that went into each nail is incredible. We’d think we were looking at two incredibly stubby fingers if we didn’t know any better. We’re wondering if this person bit their tattooed nails because they were nervous. We wouldn’t be surprised if they did because they look so real!
ET Go Home
You could get a sleeve tattoo to cover up a long gash on your forearm. On the other hand, Sleeve tattoos aren’t cheap and can take weeks, if not months, to complete. This person simply rolled with the punches rather than going through the lengthy, costly process.
ET Go Home
The abduction beam from an alien aircraft is visible through the long gash on this person’s forearm. The UFO appears to be abducting a helpless victim who has no idea what is going on. But don’t worry, we’ve heard that aliens don’t actually probe humans. Our sources, which are based solely on hearsay, could, however, be completely inaccurate.
Cleanup on Aisle 2
There was no scar on this person. She was self-conscious about her appearance as a child because she had a birthmark on her chest and shoulder. Because birthmarks don’t heal over time, there’s probably nothing you can do to hide them. After all, they were there from the moment they were born, not as a result of trauma.
Cleanup On Aisle 2
This woman, on the other hand, finally took the plunge and got a tattoo that allowed her to laugh rather than be embarrassed by her birthmark; what a brilliant idea to place a wine glass on top as if someone had accidentally spilled it it it red wine all over her.
Howling at the Moon
These scars are unmistakably the result of a self-inflicted injury. Unfortunately, people resort to such extreme measures, but everyone handles their problems differently. We wish he had approached his issues differently. But this guy had no idea that those cut marks would serve as the foundation for an amazing tattoo one day.
Howling At The Moon
The cuts serve as trunks for the pine trees in the background, as you can see if you look closely. The wolves’ silhouettes against the forest background are simple, but they tell a story about survival.
DreamWorks
With a crescent moon scar, the possibilities for a great tattoo were endless. This woman could have had a tattoo of a starry sky or a wolf howling at the moon done on her back. Instead, she chose something that was both simple and familiar.
DreamWorks
This is the iconic logo for DreamWorks Animation Studio, which brought Shrek to life in 2001. She did, however, have to make a minor change to avoid violating any copyright laws. As you can see, the kid holding the fishing pole is wearing a hat, which was not included in the original logo.
Who’s That Pokémon?!
Back when there were only 151 Pokémon, we were completely enamored with them. There are nearly 900 Pokémon today, and memorizing them all would take an Einstein-like mind. Even though there are so many, the classics are the most well-known, even 23 years after being first released.
Who’s That Pokémon?!
Someone with a large scar on their forearm is shown here. Charmander is one of the most well-known fire-based Pokémon, and the scar became the perfect foundation for a flame tattoo. Even though getting the scar must have been a horrible experience, it was truly a match made in heaven.
Bionic Woman
This woman only needed one word to describe herself: strength. After suffering from scoliosis, she had to go to the operating room. The doctors used two titanic rods to realign her spinal cord to its original position, but the scar from the surgery will remain with her for the rest of her life.
Bionic Woman
Her spine, she claimed, was curved in two parts, forming an S shape. That was all she needed to come up with the idea for the “strength” tattoo, and the tattooist was happy to oblige. We all need a reminder now and then that we can get through life.
Writing a New Story
The people we trust the most in this world can also be the ones who cause us the most pain. When she was a child, this woman was abused by her father, and he left an open wound on her forearm during one of his rage-filled episodes. She claimed that the scar served as a reminder of a traumatic past that she wished she could forget.
Writing A New Story
You may not escape your past, but you can make a better future for yourself. This woman believed that a tattoo of a pen and unicorn would be the perfect reminder that, despite her traumatic childhood, her future can be whatever she wants it to be.
Celebrating a Straight Spine
Another scoliosis patient has had successful spine realignment surgery in this case. She was diagnosed with the condition when she was 15 years old, and doctors told her that she would need braces to live into adulthood. Her parents decided to fix her spine regardless of the cost without hesitation.
Celebrating A Straight Spine
In the end, the doctors were able to bend her 65-degree spine back into place with the help of two titanium rods. She’d have to live with the scar that resulted, which ran from her shoulder blades to her lower back in a straight line. To hide her scar, she had a perfectly straight spine tattooed to commemorate her good health.
Tumors Suck
When she was ten years old, she was diagnosed with a tumor on her thigh bone. The tumor removal procedure was extremely invasive, but it prevented the tumor from spreading. Thankfully, the surgery went well, and the then-ten-year-old is still alive and well today.
Tumors Suck
Her tattoo, on the other hand, was a pretty disgusting one, according to her. So, to commemorate the removal of her tumor, she decided to get a ribbon tattoo to cover up the scar. The laces were chosen because the stitches had already been removed, and she wanted her wound to be permanently closed.
Pretty Self Explanatory
While cats are incredibly adorable, they are literally the offspring of demons. Don’t let their adorable mews and playful demeanor fool you. They will begin plotting your demise the moment you turn your back on them. Their plans usually begin with scratching you to death, as was the case with this poor guy.
Pretty Self Explanatory
Since the scar from the particularly nasty flurries of scratches didn’t fade with time, this guy got the ideal tattoo to cover it up. He got a tattoo of a cat scratching his skin with all four paws (which he claimed was not his). The cat appears to be attempting to pull a carpet away from the floor, which is a pretty gruesome thought when you consider it.
